There is ALWAYS Someone Bigger...

In Strongman and Strength Training you you should compete against your peers - but truly - your greatest opponent is YOURSELF.

Why?  Just take a look at this picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger (middle) who bulked up to the biggest he has ever been for the movie "Conan the Destroyer". Arnie is 6' 2" - 250ish by the way - but he is dwarfed by his friends Andre the Giant (7' 4" 500+ pounds) and Basketball Hall of Famer: Wilt Chamberlain (7' 1" 276 lb). Arnie looks like a kid being scolded by his uncles for not wearing a shirt to the mall. If Arnie's expectations were to be bigger or stronger than Andre, he would have given up his bodybuilding career and become their hairdresser (they could all use one).

Moral of the story:There is ALWAYS someone else Bigger, Stronger, Smarter, and/or Faster than you. So, be the best YOU can be, work until you are hamburger and then... even giants will respect you.
